ANNOUNCEMENTS
SECOND INDEPENDENCE DAY
“Juneteenth marks our country’s second independence day. Though it has long been celebrated among the African American community, it is a history that has been marginalized and still remains largely unknown to the wider public. The legacy of Juneteenth shows the value of deep hope and urgent organizing in uncertain times. This Museum is a community space where that spirit can continue to live on – where histories like this one can surface, and new stories with equal urgency can be told.” https://nmaahc.si.edu/blog-post/celebrating-juneteenth; Watch the video from the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture through a tour of the Slavery and Freedom exhibition.

LYNETTE BREININGER RETIREMENT
Rohrbach Library announces the retirement of Lynette Breininger. Lynette, the acquisitions and catalog technician for the library, has been with Kutztown University for almost 31 years. She has been a dedicated member of our library team with a strong work ethic (a reflection of her previous service in the military). Lynette will be greatly missed both by her library family and the KU community. We wish her the best as she reaps the rewards of a job well done. Lynette’s last day will be Thursday, June 17.
Jennifer Tanzos, Rohrbach Library
